MARY ANN ENOCHS & JOSEPH WILFORD
Sue (HOWARD) WILKERSON 2/20/98
Sorry to start up on a long-past subject, but I just ran across this post while running searches on some ancestors.
In a message from Sue (Howard) Wilkerson on Feb. 20, 1998, there was a request to send you info on Mary Ann Enochs & Joseph Wilford.These two names are paired in genalogical recollections by way of my maternal grandmother and passed to my sibs and me by my mother.According to her, this Joseph Wilford was the son of the Joseph Wilford who was married to Mary Campbell.According to my mother this Mary Campbell was taken captive by Indians in Pennsylvania about 1757 when she was about 7 years of age.She remained with them until 1764 at which time she was found at a place named "Chillicothe" and bought back by provincial troops under a Col. "Boquet."
